Balcony Inspiration: 7 Colorful Ideas to Transform Your Outdoor Space
Looking for balcony inspiration? Discover 7 colorful ways to turn your tiny balcony into a vibrant summer hangout with Kitsch Kitchen favorites
Looking for balcony inspiration that brings joy, color and creativity to your outdoor nook? Even the tiniest balconies can become a happy summer hangout with the right styling. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee, reading a book or hosting a mini apéro – here’s how to make it a vibe.
These 7 Kitsch Kitchen must-haves turn your balcony into your personal sunshine spot – all summer long 🌞
1. Add a bold outdoor rug
Start from the bottom up with a recycled plastic rug. They’re durable, rain-resistant, and – most importantly – full of color. Choose a round or rectangular rug that sets the tone for your whole look.
Tip: want extra coziness? Layer with a small cotton rug or mat for bare feet comfort.
2. Add some colourfull cushions
Your seating deserves the spotlight! Combine your chair with bright embroidered or woven cushions. Mix colors, prints and textures to make your own playful patio look. At the store we have a couple of real Mexican chairs, but be quick, Henkie already has a favourite!
Note: Our bohemian cushions are made from recycled sari fabrics – each one unique!
3. Bring the glow with candlelight and a nice set table
Trow a Mercado the Flores tablecloth and your table has a summer vibes. Group a few glass candle holders or small lanterns on your table or floor – and you’re instantly in holiday mode. Nothing says “balcony moment” like a golden glow.
Tip: mix different glass colors for that extra sunset sparkle.
4. Add a quirky accent piece
Who says balconies can’t be fun? Add some of our Mexican treasures like the handmade ceramic jug, bowls or the cute fish ashtray (available in-store only) Those items add a cheerful, cheeky detail. Made in Mexico, these one-of-a-kind items add color and craftsmanship to your space.
5. Turn jars into plant pots
Did you know our ceramic storage jars (like our anchor jar, Carlos and Marisol) are also perfect for plants? With a sturdy 15 cm base, they hold herbs, cacti or even small flowers like geraniums or lavender.
Also perfect: the colorful Mr. Carson jar – great for mint, thyme or a tiny bouquet.
6. Organize it in style
Our sari baskets are soft, colorful and lightweight – ideal for keeping garden tools, napkins or a book within reach. Since they’re made of fabric, we recommend using them indoors or under cover if rain is expected.
7. Add a nice doormat
Welcome summer in style – right at your doorstep. A decorative doormat is an easy way to add color, texture, and personality to your balcony or entryway. It sets the tone, keeps things tidy, and brings a cheerful touch to your outdoor space.
Our hand-picked summer doormats feature bold prints and vibrant colors that brighten up any balcony – without taking up extra space.
Your colorful balcony awaits ☀️
